▼ + stars: | 2024-04-19 | by ( Dan Mangan | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Former President Donald Trump returns from a lunch break at Manhattan criminal court as jury selection continues in New York, NY on Thursday, April 18, 2024. The filing opposes a joint motion by Trump and KSIC to justify the insurer as the surety company holding the bond. Lawyers for AG Letitia James asked Judge Arthur Engoron to require Trump and other defendants to put up a replacement bond within seven days of ruling on the issue. Trump personally was ordered to pay $454 million in damages, an amount that is growing every day with interest. Trump was required under New York law to post a bond to guarantee the judgment as he appeals the decision.

AG Letitia James plans to go after Trump's cash and property if he doesn't pay his civil fraud debt. Is the ball in Letitia James' court? "The burden is on Letitia James to find Trump's assets" and decide what she wants garnished or auctioned, he said. D'Orazio predicts James would first target the cash that Trump and the Trump Organization keep in New York-registered bank accounts. He would then remit $95 million to the Attorney General's Office, and that would go toward paying Trump's judgment.

Punitive damages in defamation cases are supposed to have a deterrent effect, to stop the defamation from happening again.

The testimony accuses Trump of personally ordering that his net worth "go up" each year. But in court papers filed Tuesday afternoon, New York Attorney General Letitia James pushed hard to keep it in the trial. Neither Weisselberg nor Trump – both defendants in James' massive fraud lawsuit – have yet been asked to verify what they allegedly said in this game-of-telephone relay. But in sworn depositions before the attorney general's office, both Weisselberg and Trump have minimized their own involvement in the drafting of the net worth statements. James is seeking repayment of some $250 million she says Trump pocketed in interest-rate savings and other benefits.

☆ Why Meta, X and TikTok face more pressure from Europe than the U.S. on Israel-Hamas war disinformation

Days after the Israel-Hamas war erupted last weekend, social media platforms like Meta , TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) received a stark warning from a top European regulator to stay vigilant about disinformation and violent posts related to the conflict. In that case, the AGs argued that the Biden administration was overly coercive in its suggestions to social media companies that they remove such posts. In the U.S., "we can't have government officials leaning on social media platforms and telling them, 'You really should be looking at this more closely. Under the DSA, large online platforms must have robust procedures for removing hate speech and disinformation, though they must be balanced against free expression concerns. A series of letters from New York AG Letitia James to several social media sites on Thursday exemplifies how U.S. officials may try to walk that line.

New York's attorney general asked a judge Wednesday for a partial summary judgment against Donald Trump in her $250 million lawsuit accusing the former president of widespread fraud, citing what she called a "mountain of undisputed evidence" of false and misleading financial statements. The allegedly false statements included years when Trump was in the White House, according to the filing. James is suing the Trumps for allegedly defrauding banks, insurance companies and others with the use of false financial statements. That trial would still take place to address other claims, even if Judge Arthur Engoron grants James' request for partial summary judgment and finds Trump and other defendants committed fraud under New York business law. James, in her motion, says Engoron has to answer just "two simple and straightforward questions" to make that finding.

On Thursday, a judge fined Trump $1 million over his "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton. Friday, Trump dropped another lawsuit before the same judge, this one against NY AG Letitia James. He wrote that like the Clinton suit, the James suit "had all the telltale signs of being both vexatious and frivolous." On Thursday, Middlebrooks went further, issuing a scathing rebuke of Trump's legal tactics along with fining Trump and his lawyers for bringing the case. In that case, too, a New York state judge recently threatened money sanctions in response to what he called Trump's pattern of "borderline frivolous" litigation.

House Democrats are scrutinizing why the Internal Revenue Service failed to fully audit Donald Trump's tax returns when he was in the White House, despite an agency policy mandating such a review. Some insight into the lapse came in a report Tuesday from the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT), a bipartisan congressional panel that examined Trump's tax returns from 2015-20. The JCT report was issued Tuesday, after the House Ways and Means Committee voted to make Trump's 2015-20 tax returns public. Trump was the first president not to make his tax returns public since the 1970s. Neal is pressing for legislation that would require the IRS to publish and audit presidential tax returns.
